Description

Matherne, Sp.J. The main issue before the court may be stated as follows: when a party to a joint bank account (not husband and wife) with a right of survivorship has, during the lifetime of the parties to the joint account, filed a lawsuit alleging that she put about one-half of the money into the account and prayed that one-half thereof be adJudged to her (the other party by intervening petition alleged that the original plaintiff had not paid any amount into the joint account and prayed that the certificate be delivered to him) and, while suit is pending, the other party to the joint account dies, can the plaintiff amend the complaint and enforce a claim for the entire fund as the survivor. We fail to find a reported Tennessee decision on the issue.
